Hi,

I remember filing a BZ about this topic some years ago.

I will mail it tomorrow to this thread as I had this exact issue, as a
user of the rest api (without any persistent authentication).

the answer, as I recall (I haven't access to this BZ atm), was to simply
truncate the event log, which is far from a "solution" at all.

kind regards

Sven
